What are different between net use and subst

Net use command is used for mapping network resources while subst command is used to substitute a drive letter for a folder.  

Syntax of subst:

SUBST d: c:path
SUBST d: /D
Syntax of net use:

net use [{DeviceName | *}] [\\ComputerName\ShareName[\volume]] [{Password | *}]] [/user:[DomainName\]UserName] [/user:[DottedDomainName\]UserName]

[/user: [UserName@DottedDomainName] [/savecred] [/smartcard] [{/delete | /persistent:{yes | no}}]

Example:

Our server chicagotech has a shared folder call ms-mvps and under ms-mvps, there is a folder called blin. You can map the ms-mvps using net use command: net use z: \\chicagotech\ms-mvps. The you can use subts command to substitute a drive for the folder blin: subst a: z:\blin.
